For new carpet, estimates show materials plus install at around $2 to $9 per square foot.
For vinyl flooring and especially luxury vinyl plank (LVP), costs run higher, around $4 to $16 per square foot installed, depending on quality.
That shows generally carpet is cheaper up front than luxury vinyl flooring, but the story doesn’t end there.
This article covers exactly what happens when you try installing laminate flooring over carpet, the risks involved, when you might technically get away with it, how we approach proper laminate installation, and some alternative flooring options if carpet removal isn’t feasible.
